Ok, Simple question, what are the odds of getting a Wii before or around the release of Smash Bros? I just want the console, not one of the expensive bundles.

Do people know if Nintendo will have sorted their manufacturing by then or is there still going to be issues well into next year?

Thanks.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping by then that it would all be cleared up and their would *maybe* be a surplus and it would just be a matter of walking in one day and grabbing one.

Oh well, phoning every store in the area it is then lol

Although, most stores are only advertising bundles, anyone know of a chain of stores that sell the Wii alone so I can pick the games I want...?

Thanks!

If you're really serious about getting one, many sites have email notifications to let you know when they have stock.

Might as well get it asap if you plan on getting it anyway. I don't see the price dropping anytime soon. Of course I'm not a fortune teller! :)

I would say wait until after. You never know, they may cancel the game... Then what will you do.

But there honestly arn't any other games on the Wii that interest you?

It's the first that really inspires me to have a Wii. There are other games I'd play, but nothing looks quite as fun as SSBB. :D

Try Craigslist of Ebay if all else fails. You'll have to buy it marked up, but theres no expensive bundle.

you probably won't find one for a while unless you go on eBay or get a time machine and go back a week before Christmas and find one of those random people on a sidewalk selling Wii's for $500.
